Drainage & Swale Excavation
North Desert Contracting provides drainage and swale excavation services for residential, commercial, and rural properties throughout Northern Arizona. Proper drainage is an important part of protecting a property from standing water, erosion, runoff, and other problems that can develop when water is not able to move where it needs to go.
We excavate and shape drainage features designed to direct stormwater away from buildings, driveways, roads, and other areas where excess water can cause problems. Every property has different slopes, elevations, and drainage conditions, so we evaluate the existing site and work with the available terrain to create practical drainage solutions.
From simple drainage swales to larger site drainage improvements, North Desert Contracting approaches each project with an emphasis on proper flow, durable construction, and compatibility with the surrounding property.
Drainage Swales
Drainage swales are shallow, graded channels designed to collect and redirect surface water across a property. We excavate and shape swales to follow the natural terrain while providing a defined path for runoff to move through the site.
Swales can be used around homes, driveways, roads, open land, and larger construction sites to help direct water away from problem areas.
Stormwater & Runoff Management
Heavy rainfall can quickly expose drainage problems, particularly on properties with changing elevations or large areas of disturbed ground. We excavate drainage features that help collect and move runoff toward appropriate discharge areas while reducing the potential for erosion and unwanted ponding.




Driveway & Roadside Drainage
Driveways and private roads can alter the natural flow of water across a property. We can excavate and shape drainage channels, roadside swales, and related features to help keep runoff from washing across the driving surface or collecting in low areas..
Property Drainage Improvements
Drainage issues are not always limited to one specific feature. Existing properties may require additional channels, low-point drainage improvements, or excavation to correct areas where water consistently collects. We can improve drainage conditions by reshaping problem areas and creating more effective paths for surface water to move through the property.




Drainage & Swale Excavation Throughout Northern Arizona
Drainage conditions can vary from property to property across Northern Arizona. North Desert Contracting provides drainage and swale excavation to help direct surface water, improve runoff patterns, and address areas where water collects or causes erosion.
